Auditorium |
Fondazione del Monte and Unicredit Group


The relationship between Fondazine del Monte di Bologna e Ravenna, UniCredit Group and the Bologna Center has been a long and productive one spanning over almost thirty years (since 1991 and 1981, respectively) providing support for fellowships, conferences and facilities. In 2006 their contribution to the auditorium played a fundamental role in bringing the Center to the completion of its renovation works.

Fondazione del Monte has its origins in banking and its mission is to pursue social aims, particularly in the region of Emilia Romagna.

UniCredit is one of the most important banking groups in Europe (they operate in twentytwo different European countries) with more than 166,000 employees.

In recent years the Auditorium has hosted numerous events and has witnessed a wide array of political, economic and academic individuals including Giorgio Napolitano, President of the Republic of Italy, Robert Mundell, 1991 Nobel Prize Winner in Economics, and Richard von Weizsacher, President of Germany from 1984 to 1994.
